I met you in fairbanks last week. Great bear.First bear. Was hunting sheep in the Brooks Range and came across the bear. 72 yard shot with 6.5 PRC did it’s job.
Rough measurements had him square at 8’1” and 23 1/4 skull.

Thanks, good to see you on here. Great bear yourself. Like that blonde colorI met you in fairbanks last week. Great bear.
That’s awesome! What did he square? Looks big. I guess you did a good job scouting.First bear. September 2nd - Opening day bear in Colorado. 25 yard shot. I was set up glassing anywhere from 150 yards to 360 yards and he came up right underneath me.

Not sure what he squared at? When I took it to the taxidermist, all he said was that it was a big bear. Lol.That’s awesome! What did he square? Looks big. I guess you did a good job scouting.
Congrats! That's a great bear. You seem to get it done every year. Please share the collar data when you get it back. Might be a problem Tahoe bear. Was the inside of its lip tattooed?Found this guy munching berries, been wanting to take a good bear for awhile now. Having to pack it out myself over three trips made me rethink that idea going forward. Hopefully I get some interesting intel back from the collar! I had him in 350-400 LB range but not entirely sure, anyone more savvy have an estimate?
Thank you! No tattoo but I’ll have to double check. Certainly not impossible but I was pretty far south for it to be a Tahoe bear, more likely to be a mammoth bear. I’ve talked to the bio so hopefully he can expedite that info.Congrats! That's a great bear. You seem to get it done every year. Please share the collar data when you get it back.

Mammoth bear would make sense too. I know NDOW tattoos the lip of captured bears in case an ear tag/collar is removed or destroyed. I took the year off from CA bear due to other hunts, but excited to see what it looks like next year.Thank you! No tattoo but I’ll have to double check.
